What they say

Meetings and partings, past encounters on platforms, and the connections between people are all brought to life in this piece devised and choreographed by Luca Silvestrini, in collaboration with dancer Kip Johnson. Take this guided walk around Wadebridge and you’ll encounter performances from a cast of inter-generational performers. From the John Betjeman Centre, right through to Wadebridge Town Hall, parents and their toddlers, young people and older dancers, will take their inspiration from Wadebridge’s history as a railway town.

Luca is Artistic Director of National Dance Award-winning company Protein. He is well-known for his fantastic dance theatre work with inter-generational groups and has created large-scale, full-length productions in Valenciennes, Athens, Barcelona, Turin, London and Kinosaki, Japan and now, Wadebridge. He has won a Jerwood Choreography Award, a Bonnie Bird New Choreography Award and The Place Prize 2006 Audience Award and was one of the first recipients of a Rayne Fellowship for Choreographers. Kip has worked with Lea Anderson, Vincent Dance Theatre, Funny Bones, Tilted Productions, Seke Chimutengwende, Ultima Vez and Gecko. Kip first worked with Protein in 2005, while a young dancer with Ludus Youth Dance Company. He then joined the company for the making and touring of its production LOL (lots of love) in 2009. Luca and Kip both worked on the bike choreography for Bikelights in Wadebridge in 2015.
